A non-stop train from Beijing to Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, broke its run at Weinan, about 100 before its destination, after a passenger suddenly went into labor last Tuesday.

Railway officials helped the woman get to a local hospital, where she delivered a healthy baby boy minutes later.

Liu Yujia has decided to name her son Tiesheng, which means born in a train.
